King Minos Retreat Resort & Spa

The hotel is in a lovely setting and really well layed out. We had a room with a private swimming pool which was much nicer and bigger than it looked in the pictures. We stayed for a week in total. However we did notice ants around the place and a few of them got into the room. However we phone reception and a lady from house keeping came in with some spray and we didn’t see any for the rest of the week. Overall the hotel/pool and room were very nice, staff were very friendly and helpful. But the food was not what you would expect from a 5 star hotel. We ended up eating down the town a few different nights. And the hill up to the hotel is has no street lights or footpath so you have to be carefully when walking at night. Overall it was a lovely stay with some really nice staff. I would say it’s more like a good 4 star hotel due to poor food, occasional ants and unlit hill to the hotel.

First I'm ever leaving a TripAdvisor review as I needed to say me and my wife's week long honeymoon stay here was amazing. Food was incredible (we went half board) that we were waiting outside the doors most nights to get in there. All the staff were so friendly and welcoming. Huge shout-out to both George and Joanna who really stood out to us in making us feel special and really bringing a new level of care and thoughtfulness to our stay. Honestly already planning to come back here on a future anniversary.

I got an aromatherapy massage done by Melisa and it was the best massage I have ever had. I have suffered with scoliosis and right shoulder pain and she really helped a lot. Will definitely book again i recommend Melisa 100% !

Very pleased with this hotel overall - we have a lovely suite with chill overlooking the sea - enchanting. I’ve just had the best massage ever in the wellness spa with Christopher who was able to work out the knots in my back and arms expertly. I highly recommend this experience. Outside, the sea is azure blue and the waves are great fun - big, crashing waves that can knock you over onto soft sand. Just a short walk from the hotel. Getting a bed here is stress free -.there are plenty. Avoid the pool ones (which are always taken anyway) because they have no shade. Food is good enough and something for everyone.
